One feared consequence of how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted public education is its potential negative impacts on teacher retention and mobility. Each spring, teachers decide whether and where to teach the following school year. Following the abrupt end to the 2019-20 school year in March 2020, there were increased concerns that teachers would choose to stop teaching. If they did return to the classroom, the concern was that they would transfer to another school. This was due in part to the stresses of reopening the following year and adjusting to the newly mandated COVID-19 protocols and remote instruction. In partnership with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), we examined this issue in the Commonwealth by describing how teacher retention and mobility changed after the onset of the pandemic. We found that teacher same-school retention rates increased following the closure of all schools in March 2020, but then dropped the reopening year (SY 2020-21) to the lowest rate observed. The Spring 2021 decrease in teacher retention was due to a substantial increase in teacher departures and a moderate increase in teacher transfers. The increases in the departure rate was most pronounced among Black teachers (male and female) and Hispanic female teachers. The Spring 2021 departure rates were the highest observed for all groups of schools defined by their concentrations of economically disadvantaged and non-White students. Tracking these trends will inform ongoing efforts to recruit and retain effective teachers for every Virginia classroom.
